Canada Urban Land Use

Cities are dependent on surrounding lands for food and other resources. As urban areas have grown, the populations of the countryside are at rapid rates.

In Canada, over 80% of the population lives in cities or urban areas, one of the highest percentages in the world. Most new immigrants settle in urban areas, making this number likely to grow. Canadian urban issues also include urban regulation and monitoring of land use.
